This Blog is no longer receiving active posts due to a family loss which lead to the forced sale of the Pollinator Potager's location. I am pleased to relate that the garden is still being tended by the new property owner, for which I am grateful. The memories of my Pollinator Potager Project will remain here, and in my heart.

Greenhouse Window

My South Facing Greenhouse Window

This is a shout out to my marvelous husband, who built me a lovely functional greenhouse window in the unused space above my kitchen sink.

Employing an extra white wire closet shelf, a scrap piece of oak found in our garage and some serious elbow grease; within an hour Doug had transformed useless space into a beautiful greenhouse-like seedling starter location in a south-facing window.

The shelves are easily and completely removable, should I choose to take them down over the winter; however, I think they'd be a great location for houseplants during the colder months. In addition to the portability, the location of the shelves - right over the kitchen sink - makes it impossible for me to forget to water and tend the seedlings.

With respect to form and function, I'm simply delighted with the result of my greenhouse window; and, my seedlings are growing, as my husband says, "Like they are on steroids."

Many thanks, Doug, for a project very well done!
